Senator Wellington Fagundes (-MT) asked to visit the former president (PL) at the Military Police Battalion where he is being held, and discuss his candidacy for the government of Mato Grosso.
Bolsonaro’s defense forwarded the request to the (Federal Supreme Court) this Sunday (1st), claiming that the personal meeting would be “due to the need for direct dialogue” between the two.
Last November, the Panel showed that the party was more inclined towards Otaviano Pivetta (Republicans).
Pivetta should take over the government in April this year, when the current governor, (), will leave office to run for the Senate. Pivetta’s re-election has the support of both Bolsonaro and the national president of the PL, .
A historic PL member in the state, Fagundes ran for state government in 2018 and was defeated by Mendes and Pivetta. In search of the party’s support to launch a candidate again, he has sought to get closer to Bolsonarism.
Last month, for example, the senator met with the STF minister and defended the granting of home rule to Bolsonaro. Furthermore, he has also been working behind the scenes to have Valdemar released to visit the former president in prison.
Last week, Fagundes accompanied federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) on a section of the walk between Minas Gerais and Brasília and was with the parliamentarian at the meeting and brought together 18 thousand people.
